BPD prediction model for very preterm infants integrating chest X-ray scores within 7 days: a retrospective case-control study.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To identify risk factors and develop an early prediction model for bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) in preterm infants with a gestational age (GA) under 32 weeks.

Design

A single-centre, retrospective case-control study.

Setting

A tertiary neonatal intensive care unit in Fujian Province, China.

Participants

762 infants (GA under 32 weeks, survived beyond the corrected GA of 36 weeks) who were hospitalised in our department between January 2018 and December 2023.

Intervention

None.

Main outcome measures

The primary outcome was the diagnosis of BPD at 36 weeks of corrected GA, with diagnostic criteria based on the 2018 criteria established by the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development.

Results
